I'm Yours (Sequel to "You're mine")

Chapter 133: Am I a bad person?

Leah's POV

"There we go," I said as I had put Emil to bed. Jin was already in his bed, looking at me. Lately, they have asked for a lot of attention from me. I guessed it was due to T's absence... "All set." I smiled at them.

Emil pointed to the story I was reading every evening these days. It is a story about a dragon who had trouble expressing his feelings. They adored that dragon and his stories, I even bought the plushie for them.

As I was reading it, I couldn't help but think about T. This dragon was trying to express himself but people failed to notice. Did I fail to notice her? Did I not see her?

The boys were wondering about T as well. They made it clear, especially the first few days she was gone. They had been asking me constantly when she'd come home. Or where she was. They missed her.

Who was I to tell them she was in a special place? Would they even understand that? Would they think their mother was crazy?
How do I even begin to explain the entire situation to them? They're just young boys... Should they even be confronted with these things?

"The end," I read and closed the book. I looked at them, as they were looking at me. I could tell they were having so many questions. But they were unsure how to ask them. I wanted to help them understand it, but I didn't want to talk about it. Because, somehow, if I don't talk about my wife being away in a special place, it's like she's not there... "Shall we go to bed now?"

They boys looked at each other before looking at me. They nodded.

I leaned in to kiss Emil. "Goodnight, tiger."

"Goodnight, mama."

I smiled before leaning over to kiss Jin. "Goodnight, Jinnie."

He observed me for a bit. "Goodnight, mama."

I showed them a small smile before getting up. I walked to the door and looked one final time at them, only to see them stare right back at me. Poor boys...
I left the room and closed the door partially.

I then walked to my room. I looked at the empty room. It was clear my other half wasn't here. The room was only lived in partially. I sighed as I went to lie down in bed. I looked at T's side. It hadn't been slept in for weeks. I hadn't held her for weeks. I hadn't kissed her for weeks. I hadn't told her I loved her for weeks...

I let out a deep breath, closing my eyes.

Suddenly, my phone went off. I opened my eyes and took my phone. I frowned. "Hello?"

Third person's POV

"She's finally asleep." Heather said as she joined Eva downstairs, at the tv.

Eva smiled at Heather. "That's good," She patted Heather's upper leg. "Thanks for putting her to bed."

"It's my job," She put her arm around her wife. "Taking care of my family."

Eva smiled more. "I'm going to miss spending time with her."

Heather looked at Eva. "Can't you stay home longer?"

Eva raised her eyebrows. "I can," She shrugged. "But then I lose those days. What if we need them later on?"

Heather sighed. "I also have plenty of days."

"Yeah," Eva chuckled. "But those aren't helpful if Hannah gets sick outside of school breaks."

Heather rolled her eyes.

They were both startled by firm knocks on their front door.

"Quickly, open the door," Eva said. "I don't want Hannah to wake up."
